Mighty Favog Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Anyone know what a new sub driver costs from the factory? The surround on mine is deteriorated and letting the voice coil bottom out.....and getting worse. Tanx!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlthess40 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Look up a replacement surround kit for the combined them on eBay and other websites you just need to measure them and get ones that would fit it You just need to get the correct measurement 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Simply speakers may have a refoam kit or be able to fix it for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlthess40 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 That’s who I was trying to think of lolParts express has the kits and will do the work as well. I’ve had them do a few of my old Klipsch { EV } drivers and they did a great job. No glow all over the frame or cone. I was very happy with the work the tech did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was very happy with the work the tech did I've had simplyspeakers fix drivers for me and I've bought the kits and done them myself. Highly recommended. Once I had an Infinity passive sub that went south. I gave them the dimensions off of the driver and they sent me a kit that fit perfectly. If you don't see your particular driver listed, just call. They're very helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Favog Posted February 11, 2019 Author Share Posted February 11, 2019 Thanx all! PE priced a refoam at about $35. But Rob, there, found a new Dayton driver that'll take 100w and go down to 30Hz for a little over $21. I measured the old driver at 7-ohm while the Dayton came in at 8. Good thing PE is about 15-20 minutes away. After the install I noticed not as much bass coming out but there a few differences since it was last played. Not only the impedance difference but the old room was mostly hard wood floors and the new room has a thick shag carpet and double padding under it. AND it's not in it's final installed location (under my desk). Still holding on to the old driver just in case.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible to just purchase a new OEM sub driver from Klipsch and replace the original driver with the new one? I can get a refoam kit later, but I think I'd like to just replace the old driver with a new OEM driver instead of refoaming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Favog Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share Posted April 27, 2019 My biggest question would then be how old is Klipsch's replacement driver which would also lead me to question how long till the surround on IT would go bad. Cost is another concern too.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
